“Master has a past life.”
Suddenly, without warning, Fana told the truth, and my heart jumped.
D-don’t tell me….I was found out?
“My master was a great person in his previous life, and he still has memories of that time. That’s why he is so awesome.”
“Indeed. I wouldn’t be convinced with anything other than that.”
Anje asks me as I’m panicking.
“Assuming you had a previous life, don’t you remember what kind of person you were?”
“I-, I don’t really remember.”
“Hmm…. I guess it was a vague memory huh.”
……Thank goodness. Apparently, they didn’t think I’ve been reincarnated as it is. They seemed to think that I only have some memories of my previous life.
Alright, let’s go with that.
“But sometimes I have a scene in my head that I shouldn’t have seen before, maybe it’s the one I saw in my previous life?”
“Mmm. I’m sure it is.”
Phew! It looks like I managed to deceive them. I was relieved and patted my chest.

Early in the morning.
I usually get up early. That’s because I train every day without fail in order to regain the power I had in my previous life as soon as possible. After I went out of the city with flight magic, I first released the magic power from my body at once in order to increase my magic power.
Perhaps frightened by the magic pressure I released, the monsters and animals in the vicinity fled all at once. In order to immediately restore my depleted magical power, I took out a faintly glowing stone from the subspace.
This is called a magic stone, and it is a special stone that can be mined in places with abundant magical power. It is a convenient thing that can be used as an energy source for magic tools. This kind of stone can also be formed inside the body of a demon or a strong monster. Well, it was quite unfortunate that the monster material before could not be collected due to the capacity of my subspace, but I’ve taken out many magic stone like this and stored it in large quantities.
“Mana Drain”
The magic power stored in the magic stone is transformed into my own by using magic absorption. My mana drain can also gather magic from the surrounding space, but this way restores magic many times faster.
Well, drinking a mana potion could make me recover almost instantly, but because of the side effects, I opted not to. I only drink mana potion in case of emergencies, and in cases like this, I decided to use magic stones. Fortunately for me, I got a considerable stock of magic stone.
After training to increase the amount of my magical power, I started running with my small body. The most troubling thing about this body that is only a few months old is its low base status. Even if my magic increases well, and no matter how much I strengthen my body with magic, it was a given fact that my base body is weak. So, I need to do this.
In my previous life, I wouldn’t have used any magic to keep those dragons at bay. But with this body, I could say I’ll be able to go toe-to-toe with orcs at best.
I also wield a sword while running. Since Lindwurm is dormant, I’m currently using a commercial sword I bought in the city. It is just that for a mass-produced product, I feel that its performance is a little low. Still, it is better than nothing.
I’m a magician, but I can also use a sword to some extent. In my previous life, I even learned directly from a man who was said to be a Sword God. Since I have the body of a small baby, I still can’t use the techniques I used back then, but for sure, I will not lose to those swordsmen out there.
Mmm. Let’s try a few then.
“Shrinkage”
I closed a distance of several meters at once. This is one of the techniques that the Sword God used frequently. It is an advanced technique that makes it appear as if I have teleported by super-accelerating for a moment.
“……It’s still no good huh. The current shrinkage is incomplete.”
It seems that it was still too early to recreate it with this body, so the result was far from perfect. In addition, I directly tried to perform various sword techniques from the Sword God.
“Double Blade Slash! Flying Blade Slash! Dragon Slash!”
Hmmm. As expected, none of the techniques work as well as they did in the previous life.
“I guess I have no choice but to relearn them steadily huh.”
However, I can’t make do with this low-quality sword right now. I won’t fall behind those regular monsters, but that doesn’t mean I won’t encounter a modified monster like we did the other day.
Lindwurm is still in dormant mode…….
“Then in this case, I could only summon that one….. Uhm, no. I want to avoid doing so as much as possible……”
I’m talking about the other staff I used in my previous life. In terms of performance alone, it is comparable to Lindwurm, but it is a bit of a quirky one so I refrain from calling it if possible.
